NAME
Class::Accessor::Grouped - Lets you build groups of accessors
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This class lets you build groups of accessors that will call different
getters and setters.
METHODS
mk_group_accessors
Arguments: $group, @fieldspec
Returns: none
Creates a set of accessors in a given group.
$group is the name of the accessor group for the generated accessors;
they will call get_$group($field) on get and set_$group($field, $value)
on set.
@fieldspec is a list of field/accessor names; if a fieldspec is a scalar
this is used as both field and accessor name, if a listref it is
expected to be of the form [ $accessor, $field ].
mk_group_ro_accessors
Arguments: $group, @fieldspec
Returns: none
Creates a set of read only accessors in a given group. Identical to
but accessors will throw an error if passed a
value rather than setting the value.
mk_group_wo_accessors
Arguments: $group, @fieldspec
Returns: none
Creates a set of write only accessors in a given group. Identical to
but accessors will throw an error if not passed
a value rather than getting the value.
make_group_accessor
Arguments: $group, $field
Returns: $sub (\CODE)
Returns a single accessor in a given group; called by mk_group_accessors
for each entry in @fieldspec.
make_group_ro_accessor
Arguments: $group, $field
Returns: $sub (\CODE)
Returns a single read-only accessor in a given group; called by
mk_group_ro_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec.
make_group_wo_accessor
Arguments: $group, $field
Returns: $sub (\CODE)
Returns a single write-only accessor in a given group; called by
mk_group_wo_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec.
get_simple
Arguments: $field
Returns: $value
Simple getter for hash-based objects which returns the value for the
field name passed as an argument.
set_simple
Arguments: $field, $new_value
Returns: $new_value
Simple setter for hash-based objects which sets and then returns the
value for the field name passed as an argument.
get_inherited
Arguments: $field
Returns: $value
Simple getter for Classes and hash-based objects which returns the value
for the field name passed as an argument. This behaves much like
Class::Data::Accessor where the field can be set in a base class,
inherited and changed in subclasses, and inherited and changed for
object instances.
set_inherited
Arguments: $field, $new_value
Returns: $new_value
Simple setter for Classes and hash-based objects which sets and then
returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. When called
on a hash-based object it will set the appropriate hash key value. When
called on a class, it will set a class level variable.
Note:: This method will die if you try to set an object variable on a
non hash-based object.
get_component_class
Arguments: $field
Returns: $value
Gets the value of the specified component class.
__PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('component_class' => 'result_class');
$self->result_class->method();
## same as
$self->get_component_class('result_class')->method();
set_component_class
Arguments: $field, $class
Returns: $new_value
Inherited accessor that automatically loads the specified class before
setting it. This method will die if the specified class could not be
loaded.
__PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('component_class' => 'result_class');
__PACKAGE__->result_class('MyClass');
$self->result_class->method();
get_super_paths
Returns a list of 'parent' or 'super' class names that the current class
inherited from.
